Dear colleague,
We would be yet again most grateful if you could circulate this
message among your network lists. Many thanks and Kind regards-
You might already have put a placeholder in your calendar for the week of
the *2-6th July 2018* <http://www.isec2018.org/home>, when the 6th
International Statistical Ecology Conference will be held in St Andrews,
Scotland.
This e-mail purpose it to update you regarding our plans to host you. Do
not forget to visit our website http://www.isec2018.org/home for regular
updates, or if you have not received this e-mail directly, subscribe to

the webpage.
The science is the key aspect of ISEC, and we anticipate a highly motivated
set of speakers to facilitate that. The set of *plenary speakers*
<http://www.isec2018.org/27754> is now closed, and includes:
* Steve Buckland (University of St Andrews)
* Stephen Ellner (Cornell University)
* Jennifer Hoeting (Colorado State University)
* William Link (USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Centre)
* Tara Martin (University of British Columbia).
In line with previous conferences, training on cutting edge methods is also
a major component of ISEC conferences. We also have a number of interesting
*workshops* <http://www.isec2018.org/30254> lined up, taught by leaders in
their respective fields:
* Combining different data types in a single model (N. Golding, N. Isaac &
E. Martin)
* Template model builder (K. Kristensen, A. Nielsen & H. Skaug)
* Modelling spatial point processes with inlabru (D. Borchers, J. Illian &
F. Lindgren)
* Hierarchical modelling of species communities (O. Ovaskainen)
* Model-based multivariate analysis of abundance data using R (D. Warton)
* Statistical models for animal movement (M. Hooten, D. Johnson, B.
McClintock & J. Morales)
ISEC is also a good time to spend some informal time with your colleagues.
Who knows whether your next paper does not materialize when chatting about
birds with a newly met colleague on the isle of May on the Wednesday
afternoon. We have a number of potential *day trips and activities*
<http://www.isec2018.org/30546> to offer for that downtime afternoon, and
these include:
* Boat trip to Isle of May National Nature Reserve
* Tour of local distillery
* Castle tour
* Visit to Dundee waterfront
If you have suggestions about these activities, or additional alternatives,
we would be happy to *hear about these* <isec2018 em st-andrews.ac.uk>.
Of special interest to students is the student competition for best
presentations (oral and poster)!! This may encourage you to start thinking
about your research/abstracts in anticipation of the autumn submission
opening. You can have a look at the list of recipients at the *2014
conference* <https://isec2014.sciencesconf.org/> or look for photos of
awards presentation from ISEC2016 on *twitter feed*
<https://twitter.com/hashtag/isec2016?lang=en>!
Finally, we would like to draw your attention to the important dates
regarding your participation:
=> Abstract submission opens: Wednesday 01 November 2017
=> Abstract submission deadline: Monday 15 January 2018
=> Decision notification: week of Monday 12 February 2018
Registration fees are yet to be set, but again- visit the website to look
for that update =)
That is all for now. We look forward to see you in St Andrews in about a
year!
